#17 Name mismatch in checksum files

[3r0s]

Hi. I downloaded PeppermintOS-Debian-64.iso and ran the PeppermintOS-Debian-64-sha512.checksum against it but i get error "PeppermintOS-Debian-64-amd64.hybrid.iso file not found" I opened the checksum file and i see that in the checksum file there is PeppermintOS-Debian-64-amd64.hybrid.iso file name but the downloadable file name is PeppermintOS-Debian-64.iso. See attached screenshots. I haven't checked the other checksum files for this file name mismatch, but it may be possible that there is the same problem. Can you please review and correct your checksum files to put the correct file name? Thank you.

Thanks for the catch.. just out of curiosity what are you using for check your sums?

When we compile the iso, that checksum file is created via a script. the filename in there is something. hybrid.iso. You are correct we need to make sure that name is fixed.

However just for general info, the file itself is just a reference so that you can double check the hash.... you are correct the though the name should be corrected and it will, just wanted to let you know the has is what should be matching. just in case others had any concerns.

We will get that fixed.

Thanks!

For reference here is another gtkhash posting, that has other useful information about our hashing for any one who runs across this ticket.

Thanks for the reply.

In reply to your question "out of curiosity what are you using for check your sums?"

To verify ISO files i usually download the checksum files and then from terminal i run "sha512sum -c" plus checksum filename.

Method also described at https://itsfoss.com/checksum-tools-guide-linux/#generating-and-verifying-checksum-against-a-file and https://www.a2hosting.com/kb/developer-corner/linux/working-with-file-checksums/

Let's take Ubuntu as example.
The download page https://releases.ubuntu.com/22.04.3/ gives the ISO and the checksum files.
I download both and then from terminal i run "sha256sum -c" plus checksum filename.

Let's take Debian for example.
The download page https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/release/current/amd64/iso-cd/ gives the ISO and the checksum files.
I download both and then from terminal i run either "sha256sum -c" or "sha512sum -c" plus checksum filename.

Other distros provide the ISO and a table with the hash values and the ISO filenames to check the hash values against.
I simply put the hash value followed by a space followed by the ISO filename in a text file and then from terminal i run the either "sha256sum -c" or "sha512sum -c" plus text filename as i do with Debian and Ubuntu downloads.

I found this way the easiest to verify ISO files.

Thanks! so much.
I have corrected the Debian 64 XFCE Checksum name and the check comes back as "OK" with your command.
I will leave this ticket open until I verify all the checksum names are correct.

I will update this ticket as progress is made.

Again thanks you so much for this catch.! true community team work!
